One of the most beautiful and refreshing parks I’ve found in Kuwait so far is the large community park in Bayan. I keep a running list of great parks and playgrounds in Kuwait and am always on the look out for lovely outdoor spaces. This one blew me away. Gated and surrounded by trees, the park is a quiet oasis of green grass and trees.
The park was very clean, had large expanses of grass and lawn and even a hill for kids to roll down. There are the standard wooden climbing structures (similar to what can be found in Salwa park) and the long aluminum slides. (Not sure why someone thought these were a good idea but we avoid them as kids can hit their heads on the bottom of the slides when they land on the dirt!)
Sadly I would not recommend this park for small children. But it’s great for older kids and for boys who need space to run, jump, slide, climb and basically run amok. There are picnic tables, a green pitch for football (aka soccer) and a sand/dirt pitch with goal posts. There is also a Pizza Hut on the grounds in case the kids get hungry. We took bubbles and a snack and made a picnic on the grass.
I think I love it for the oasis-like feel. It’s so green and enclosed and so you feel like you’ve stepped out of the city into a garden.
I’m including a map, but the directions are really simple. Take Fahaheel Expressway (Highway 30) and turn off at exit 306 (Masjid al Aqsa street). Head toward Bayan (turning right if you are coming from Kuwait City or turning left if coming from the south). Take your first right into Bayan, take your first right again and you will see the park on your right. The park is located in Bayan, block 4, street 11.
